We have the following folder structure in our wix declaration:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="$(var.ProgramFilesFolder)">
<Directory Id="ManufacturerFolder" Name="$(var.Manufacturer)">
<Directory Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Name="$(var.AppFolderName)">
// further folders or files
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Target: We want to delete the APPLICATIONFOLDER on an uninstall. RemoveFolderEx
and RemoveFolder
will not work for this task, so we need to use a CustomAction. The CustomAction:
<CustomAction Directory="ManufacturerFolder" ExeCommand='/c rmdir /S /Q "[APPLICATIONFOLDER]"' Id="RemoveAppFolder" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="ignore"/>
This custom action deletes nothing. What is the correct declaration?
Why Don't you do it like this? It must work on uninstall. For example just place it in component where you have shortcut creation.
<RemoveFolder
Id="rem_folder"
Directory="APPLICATIONFOLDER"
On="uninstall"/>
<RemoveFile Id="rem_files"
On="uninstall"
Directory="APPLICATIONFOLDER"
Name="*.*"/>
